bnxt_en: Fix netdev locking in ULP IRQ functions

netdev_lock is already held when calling bnxt_ulp_irq_stop() and
bnxt_ulp_irq_restart(). When converting rtnl_lock to netdev_lock,
the original code was rtnl_dereference() to indicate that rtnl_lock
was already held. rcu_dereference_protected() is the correct
conversion after replacing rtnl_lock with netdev_lock.

Add a new helper netdev_lock_dereference() similar to
rtnl_dereference().

netdevsim: add dummy device notifiers

In order to exercise and verify notifiers' locking assumptions,
register dummy notifiers (via register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net).
Share notifier event handler that enforces the assumptions with
lock_debug.c (rename and export rtnl_net_debug_event as
netdev_debug_event). Add ops lock asserts to netdev_debug_event.

net: designate queue -> napi linking as "ops protected"

netdev netlink is the only reader of netdev_{,rx_}queue->napi,
and it already holds netdev->lock. Switch protection of
the writes to netdev->lock to "ops protected".

The expectation will be now that accessing queue->napi
will require netdev->lock for "ops locked" drivers, and
rtnl_lock for all other drivers.

Current "ops locked" drivers don't require any changes.
gve and netdevsim use _locked() helpers right next to
netif_queue_set_napi() so they must be holding the instance
lock. iavf doesn't call it. bnxt is a bit messy but all paths
seem locked.

net: explain "protection types" for the instance lock

Try to define some terminology for which fields are protected
by which lock and how. Some fields are protected by both rtnl_lock
and instance lock which is hard to talk about without having
a "key phrase" to refer to a particular protection scheme.

"ops protected" fields are defined later in the series, one by one.

Add ASSERT_RTNL() to netdev_ops_assert_locked() for drivers
not other instance protection of ops. Hopefully it's not too
confusion that netdev_lock_ops() does not match the lock which
netdev_ops_assert_locked() will assert, exactly. The noun "ops"
is in a different place in the name, so I think it's acceptable...

net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate header

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to
a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity
and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching
the header with the helpers).

The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used
in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used
most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.
